Mini workshop at the Guardian

This week I ran my 'Refresh your wardrobe' (mend + uplift) workshop with some lovely people who work at the Guardian's new offices at Kings Cross. The Guardian is a forward thinking newspaper, they have their own sustainability team who were responsible for organising a series of workshops for employees as part of their own Sustainability Week.I bought in my mobile unit (a laden bicycle!) of darning wools, mushrooms, needles, patches, threads and a collection of inspirational reclaimed haberdashery for customising with and passed on some simple darning, mending and alteration tips and everyone made a recycled rosette too before they left. What a good lunch hour!
